    Abstract:
    Exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as attractive non-invasive and reliable biomarkers for disease diagnosis. In situ exosomal miRNA detection can avoid laborious and time-consuming exosome lysis, RNA extraction and effectively improve the accuracy. However, in situ exosomal miRNA detection is hampered by the low abundance of the targets and low permeability of the probes. Herein, an in situ exosomal miRNA sensing biochip based on multi-branched localized catalytic hairpin assembly (MLCHA) and photonic crystals (PCs) was proposed. The MLCHA probes could penetrate into the exosomes nondestructively due to its rigidity and generate amplified fluorescence signal upon recognizing the target miRNA. And then, the fluorescence signal was further enhanced by PCs to improve the sensitivity. The developed biosensor can not only detect exosomal miRNA in a concentration-dependent manner but also distinguish samples from cancer state and healthy state, which is potential for non-invasive clinical diagnostics.
